Utah

Meet some cool people but can't remember their names? Here's the photo sheet with name tags.

I'm coming to town for DrupalCamp Utah 2014! I land Thursday 11:30am at SLC.
As luck would have it, Matthew Broderick and Godzilla will be joining us on that same day!!!!!
The question is, will you join me, Bueller, and the jolly green Lizard! [Please, REGISTER on this node if you're going.]

Thursday at 7pmMT the Century16 Cinema [125 East 3300 South] is showing the RIFFTRAX Live Event; GODZILLA

What is RIFFTRAX? Visit their DRUPAL site at http://www.rifftrax.com/godzilla AND read the bottom of this post.

A fellow Drupaler has posted an event on Meetup.com. I thought I'd cross post to make sure others would see it. (Thanks Walt for letting us know!)

Anyone who wants pizza, give me a count of who's coming and I'll get it here!

Also, let's get some discussion going on what people want to discuss. Last month we had a discussion on performance enhancements. I think front end development was another one people wanted to discuss. Other ideas?

Agenda

• Social Hour:
  • Pizza, Ping Pong & Foosball at 6pm!
• Meeting: Official meeting starts at 7pm.
  • One breath introductions
  • Topic 1: DrupalCon Austin Recap: Continue the discussion in person.
  • Topic 2: Drupal Camp Utah 2014. The count down begins!

If you made it to Austin I hope you had a great drupalcon! Session videos are now posted and I'm just sitting here rating my sessions and trying to organize and digest what I learned. I'd really like to go back and watch some again and also catch some of the ones that I wanted to see but couldn't.

If you get a second, will you please post your favorites? What stood out? I think between all of us who went, we could quickly get a list together of the very best sessions to watch if you have limited time and want a curated list to pick from.

Here are my favorites:

In previous years we've tried eating together during lunch. We'll find a table or two to claim as Utah.

Let us know you're coming and we'll look out for you!

This DUG meeting will be held at the Smart Rhino Labs office located right off of I-15 and Bangerter in Draper.

We'll be discussing performance tuning, both on the front end and the back end. We'll get into monitoring a bit as well I would assume.

Would everyone want to get pizza and chip in, or does everyone want to bring their own lunch?

If pizza, give me a count of who's coming and I'll get it here.

  • Pizza, Ping Pong & Foosball at 6pm!
• Meeting: Official meeting starts at 7pm.
  • One breath introductions

    Bring with you some of the little things you picked up along the way that others might not have known.

tl;dr; = 13th May 4pm Draper, UT. Link at bottom

So in addition to the 4th Thursday meetup, I'm proposing adding a 2nd Tuesday meetup that would either be during lunch, or would start at 4. Seems like a lot of discussion around having one during work hours, and having one further south, so let's try this out. My company's office space is pretty good for groups up to about 20 or so, so I'm volunteering it.

We need volunteers to help the following tasks:
Venue booking: Webchuck ** Venue booked **
Accounting: JeremyR
Sponsor management:
Website management: Jeremyr and derekawalker
-- we'll likely use COD or last year's site, so this would just be management of content and related items
T-shirt & web design: derekawalker
T-shirt ordering:
Breakfast order: pandaPowder
Lunch order: pandaPowder
Organizing Speakers: pandaPowder

** Please put your name after any of the tasks you can help with.

I'm wondering if there is any interest in doing a DUG Meetup during business hours?

Agenda

• Social Hour:
  • Pizza, Ping Pong & Foosball at 6pm!
• Meeting: Official meeting starts at 7pm.
  • One breath introductions
  • Topic 1: LOOKING FOR SUGGESTIONS/VOLUNTEERS
  • Topic 2: LOOKING FOR SUGGESTIONS/VOLUNTEERS

I am building a new site for an existing web radio program. The old site is homemade, and each episode has a unique identifier in the URL, for example:

http://northernspiritradio.org/index.asp?command=showinfo&showid=628645279260

The "showid" at the end is the unique identifier. Though I have not done so yet, I can add this to each corresponding episode.

When we re-point the domain name to the new site, people will keep getting 404 error messages unless I can get Drupal to find the correct episode.

Agenda

• Social Hour:
  • Pizza, Ping Pong & Foosball at 6pm!
• Meeting: Official meeting starts at 7pm.
  • One breath introductions
  • Topic 1: Using Drupal and it's various "out of the box" entities.
  • Topic 2: Custom entities and more

Agenda

• UPDATE: Pizza, Ping Pong & Foosball at 6pm!
• One breath introductions
• Topic 1: What are YOU doing to make your site future ready?
• Topic 2: General Drupal Question & Answer

In case anyone hasn't heard yet, we're planning to skip the December meetup. In January we'll pick up again with the same schedule and location as before. Every 4th Thursday evening in Sugarhouse.

In the meantime jump on the IRC channel and say hi (#drupal-utah more info here about IRC: https://drupal.org/irc )
